I've been trying to write every day but yesterday it just didn't happen. By the time I got home from all of my running around with the baby I was exhausted. My husband had had a really stressful week too, a student brought a loaded gun with him to school, so we canceled our plans and spent the night in. I just couldn't relax though. I've been slowly getting more and more stressed trying to juggle a new baby and the rest of my life. Yesterday everything hit me at once. My milk wouldn't let down and I was getting SO frustrated with myself. My husband could tell I was close to my breaking point and did the most wonderful thing...he took the baby and sent me off to bed. I set the computer on my bedside table and fell asleep to Love Actually playing in the background. When I woke up 10 hours later I felt like a completely different person...myself (with very hard full boobs). I need to figure out how to keep a hold of that feeling, of who I am, while still fulfilling all of my responsibilities and different roles. This, like everything else, is a work in progress. Wish me luck.
PS. Any and all advice is welcome.
